British High Commissioner to India, Lindy Cameron, presented the medal on behalf of King Charles III. She praised Mittal’s contributions, highlighting his investments in the UK, including BT, Gleneagles, Norlake Hospitality, and OneWeb.
“Mr. Mittal’s leadership has made a lasting impact on the UK-India partnership, including through his work with the India-UK CEO Forum. Most recently, he led a senior Indian business delegation to the UK to meet with Prime Minister Starmer, the Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor, and other Cabinet Ministers to identify opportunities for accelerating economic growth across both nations. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Mr. Mittal and congratulate him once again,” said Cameron.
